We are having a 30 person wedding (counting all adults, NO kids at this time)— ALL family. Venue (private estate) is an hour and a half away from most guests homes.
Possibly 8 kids (ages 6 months to 5 years old). 5 are nieces and nephews.
Reasons why we feel no kids:— Wedding planner and photographer recommend no children— Don’t want crying babies during ceremony or at dinner— Safety issues: 20 foot cliff drop offs at venue. Pool with no barrier (see photos). For sure an unsafe area for kids. — More formal wedding, spending A LOT of money on the night. — Videographer — Want our siblings to have the night off and celebrate with us.
Reasons why we would like kids:— Our families are VERY family oriented— Easier for family — Distance and possible need of hotel— Who can watch the kids?
Thought about hiring baby sitter on site as well (in the guest house) but could be a liability issue.
